A while back we picked up a couple Ubiquiti US-16-XG switches for $299 each during their beta period. These are 10G switches, 12 SFP+’s and 4 RJ45’s, at a pretty crazy price. But then I got busy and didn’t mess with one until now.

Since some time has passed, the US-16-XG is now out of beta. And nothing has changed in hardware, so upgrade the firmware and you got the production product for half off.

Easier said than done.

Unifi didn’t give me the Upgrade option, and I kept getting Invalid Firmware and Invalid Version errors when doing it manually.
